Gowdy also lambasted Comey for watering down his findings in the Hillary Clinton email investigation.

You may recall Comey’s statement in which he detailed Clinton’s handling of classified information. In it, one phrase was changed from “grossly negligent” to “extremely careless,” a wording change that downgraded her behavior criminal to irresponsible.

He also, at the request of former Attorney General Loretta Lynch, referred to the case as a “matter” rather than an “investigation.”

“He appointed himself FBI director, attorney general, special counsel, lead investigator and the general arbiter of what is good and right in the world according to him,” Comey said in a fiery statement.

Gowdy also launched bombs at other FBI agents working on the case, countering Horowitz’s conclusion that political bias did not play a role in the Clinton email investigation or the Trump/Russia investigation, by saying they were both prejudged by biased agents.

“These exact same FBI agents and attorney prejudged the outcome of the Russia investigation before it even began,” he said.

“Prejudging the outcome of an investigation before it ends, and prejudging the outcome of an investigation before it begins,” he added, is the “textbook definition of bias.”

At Oversight/Judiciary Cmte hrng on IG rpt, Gowdy says Comey alone watered down findings, made the prosecution decision and did not take steps to call for Special Counsel

In testimony earlier this week, Horowitz confirmed to Congress that Comey himself is under investigation for his handling of classified information, including memos detailing his conversations with President Trump.

Comey has repeatedly claimed that he simply leaked the memos to a friend.

When will the former FBI Director be compelled to testify again since these new findings in the IG report demonstrate his handling of the Clinton and Trump cases are rife with glaringly obvious examples of bias?

“When will the former FBI Director be compelled to testify again … ” The country’s sick and tired of investigations of investigations. Several need to be prosecuted, not later, not after more hearings, but NOW!

Abracadebra – Why bother having them “testify” any more??? They’re all lying and slanting everything to their views, anyway. If they had been honest, upstanding citizens, none of this would have happened in the first place. Every time I read what they’ve done now, I feel like I need a shower!

In a blog yesterday, everybody was criticizing Gowdy for not dumping on Mueller (yet). I told them I have only seen one other attorney with his skill for boiling an argument down to the bones with a minimum of wording. He organizes the facts perfectly, so well that even a liberal could understand.

In the FBI’s “HRC Email Server Investigation” Comey gave the appearance of a boxer throwing a fight in order to avoid prosecuting her. How about a do-over because of his many errors? I guess no one in DOJ or FBI has the spine to order that!

yes jim, if you do no quit being naughty. gowdy, is liable to verbally taunt you again.

sheesh! as if this is the first time gowdy has acted angry at comey on the very same subject. and then acts, surprised that comey even got caught by the ig’s also biassed report.

is being scolded the worst that is going to happen, to these obvious criminal acts? are they even going to throw comey under the bus? so that they can pretend the doj, and fbi corruption has been cleaned up?

yeah right! spying only on the trump campaign because that was all their prejudiced bigotry was interested in. as the doj and fbi, did not even need any fake dossier to get a search warrant for hillary or sanders. with all the evidence of wrongdoing, they refused to use.

but noooo! they could not find anything on trump, so we’ll, use this paid for by hillary clinton fake dossier instead. so we, can only appear to be unbiased.

It has been just a few months or so when Trey Gowdy calmly declared he trusted the FBI leadership and that they ALL were doing the job the proper way. Now, he jumping on the “trash Comey” bandwagon. I also remember he was a Marcos Rubio cheerleader during the primaries – and I do NOT recall him ever supporting POTUS Trump. To put it mildly, Trey has disappointed me.

David, you have a bias in your thoughts and after listening to Gowdy’s opening statements, it is hard for me to understand. You will not be happy until President Trump is gone, no matter what and that is your bias. Comey has embarrassed the FBI and the Justice Department and if you cannot see that then……

Both Trump and Gowdy think way up there on a level most of us don’t. They will sneak up on an argument and let everyone criticize them for a position they let you think they have, but don’t.. Go back and look how skillfully Gowdy maneuvered Horowitz into supporting his argument. He scolded Horowitz but kept him supporting Gowdy’s argument, like Horowitz never realized he was being scolded. Masterful.

“He appointed himself FBI director, attorney general, special counsel, lead investigator and the general arbiter of what is good and right in the world according to him,” Comey said in a fiery statement.
MIssprint….should read, “Gowdy”, if I’m correct.
